well, well...how's that for memory power? not too shabby...although i probably forgot a few things here n there, but i think i got most of it. a wicked weekend, haven't taken a trip all summer, i needed this. got to do a decent amount of stuff too (swimming, biking, exploring), and got a decent amount of relaxation in too. a much needed "pre-back-to-school trip". uggh...did i just type that?!? "school"?!? uy...
(more trip pics)
*in other news*: i found underwear for "only" $8.99 today! ok, that's still not that cheap i guess, not even close to the bargain my mom got me which was $5.99 for TWO pairs, but this was from Winner's and the MSRP was $20, so $8.99 seems like a pretty damn good deal to me. besides, i needed to stock up before heading back to school anyway. (i hate doing laundry, so i keep enough underwear around so that i can last like 3 weeks before doing it!)
